Look at Me!

Jonathan Adam Hargus

Jonathan Adam Hargus

I've been in beekeeping since 2002 That's plenty of time to get stung. I've worked thousands of hives and seen what works and what doesn't. I can't imagine not having a beehive around to poke my nose into (most of the time with a veil on ;) I've been stung more than once and sometimes even deserved it. I'm just a beekeeper who's sick and of commercial beekeeping practices and tired of research looking in all the wrong places to solve common sense issues. It's time for something new!
